SADIRON STAND.

Application filed Qctober 12, 1922. SerialNo. 594,056.

The invention relates to stands for sad irons and the like, includingthose which are electrically heated, and is intended to be attachedtot-he ironing board or table or other suitable support; and has for itsob jects to improve the construction of such device for purposes ofconvenience and dura bility in use and economy of manufacture.

With such objects in view, as well as other advantages which may beincident tothe use of the improvements, the inventionconsists in theparts and combinations thereof hereinafter set forth and claimed, with.the understanding that the several necessary elements constituting thesame may be varied in proportions and arrangement without departing fromthe nature and scope of the invention.

In order to make the invention more clearly understood there are shownin the accompanying drawings means for carrying the same into practicaleflec't, without limit ing the improvements, in

which, for the purpose of explanation, have been made the subject ofillustration.

In said drawings:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of an iron stand embodymg the invention. i i

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same.

Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the same.

Fig. 4: is a plan view of the blank from which said stand is formed.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is the bottom plate of the stand, which isupwardly emossed with iron-supporting projections 2, so

that only small points of the iron touch the plate and a stratum of airis left between the sadiron and the stand as a heat-insulator. At oneside the stand is formed with anupstanding retaining flange 3 whichextends up above thesurface of the plate 1, and at the opposite sidewith a similar but short flange 4 arranged near the point or front endof the stand. The side flanges converge toward the front end of theplate 1 to hold the sadiron from sliding forwards. At the rear end saidplate is formed with a flange which is first depressed to produce a bendand wide rear leg 5 and is thence, continued upward above the plate tomake a retaining flange 6 which is or may be of the same height as theflanges 3 and 4. i

7 is an L- haped bracket attached to the ownward and under the plate ata distance 515 Slate 1 by a rivet 8, and extended thence their usefulappli cations, to the particular constructions therefrom so as to passaround and under the ironing board. The upper. end of i this bracketdepends from the plate to .lorm a central front leg 9 corresponding inheight with the leg 5.

'10 is a screw clamp for engagement against the under side of theironing board to attach the stand securely in place. The legs 5 and 9produce a further heat-insulator of air between the plate and said boardor table or table cloth. 7

The rear flange 6 is cut-away or shortened at the end opposite the shortfront flange 4 so as to make a space for the insertion or sliding of thesadiron into the stand either from the side or from the rear, but all ofsaid flanges are so arranged that the sadiron is efiiciently held fromsliding out of the stand when the ironing board is lifted or inchned forthe purpose of putting clothes around it. y

The main part 01 the stand, including the plate 1 and its flanges, isblanked out by cutting dies from substantial sheet metal in the formshown in Fig. 4 and stamped by suitable pressing dies'into the formshown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, after which the bracket- 7 is attached, thelatter being made preferably of malleable iron.

All of the sheet metal parts 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are so arranged in theblank (Fig. 4) that the stand may be shaped up at a single pressing dieaction.

An important feature of my improvements are the means whereby I providea heat-insulator of air between the sad iron and the stand and a secondinsulator between the stand and the ironing board. A1- so, theadaptability of the stand to be adjustedby turning it on the rivet 8,which is made loose enough for the purpose is a useful feature. Thisenables the stand to be adjusted to the most convenient position forplacing the sadiron on and lifting it fromthe stand. i a

What I claim is- 1. A sadiron stand consisting of a bent sheet metallate formed with iron-retaining marginal si e flanges, and having itsrear end bent downward to form a wide rear leg and thence bent up toform an iron-retainin rear end flange, said plate being provided at itsfront end with a leg which is continued down and rearward-to form aclamp to engage an ironing board.

' 2. A sad iron stand consisting of a sheet 3. A sadiron standconsisting of a bent sheet metal plate, having marginal portions bent upto form side retaining flanges, and n having rear portions thereof bentdownwardly and upwardly to form a rear leg and a rear retaining flange,and a securing bracket attached to the front end of the plate and havingits extremity bent down to form a 2 front leg.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
